Will Mazgaon Hill be further dug up for a new foot overbridge (FOB) at Dockyard Road station? The old hill is at the south end of the railway station where there's no FOB to go from one platform to another.

During a visit to the railway station on Thursday, MP Arvind Sawant said that the south end needs a FOB. "The stations on the priority list remain Sewri, Reay Road and Cotton Green, work on which shall be expedited. At Dockyard Road station, commuters wanting to go to the east side are forced to cross railway tracks. A small FOB would ease the problem. I discussed the issue but due to the hill, there are limitations," Sawant told mid-day.
